4:15 Prayer!
Let's welcome a "
new thing," as we join together in a breakthrough prayer!
Since our Sugar River address is
415 W Verona Ave we thought it might be nice to pray together at
4:15 a.m. or p.m. each and every day. Let's offer up God-sized prayers for a God-sized breakthrough creating new possibilities for our church, the community, the world and each of us personally. To get started let's focus on praying for
four different things for
15 seconds each. The breakthroughs await!
To add the prayer as an image on your phone or tablet so it is handy for your prayer- just visit our
Home Page
for downloadable images!
If you'd like to sign up for weekly Breakthrough Prayer reminders and future prayer texts, simply text:
@srprayer to 81010
